★ Top Answer
The 2014 Nissan Maxima requires around 4.3 liters (4.5 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 synthetic engine oil. This type of oil is suitable for colder temperatures but has better viscosity in warmer climates, aimed at safeguarding the engine by maintaining its temperature, preventing corrosion, and lubricating moving parts. Nissan suggests changing this oil every 7,500 miles, but if you drive on dirt roads frequently or have a lot of stop-and-go traffic, you might need more frequent oil changes. If you plan to do the oil change yourself, popular oil brands to consider are Amsoil, Mobil 1, Castrol GTX, Pennzoil Platinum, and Valvoline High Mileage. Alternatively, if you have it done professionally, an oil change for your Maxima will typically cost between $100 and $130, with labor making up $40 to $50 of that price.
